Special issue coming on December 21st
To celebrate the 30-year journey of Bombay Times and Delhi Times, both the iconic brands will be bringing out a special issue that will take readers on a nostalgic ride back to the 90s-the era that reshaped both the entertainment world and lifestyle journalism.
Launched in 1994, these publications recognized, ahead of almost all others in the space, that what entertained and engaged readers-Bollywood, fashion, food, fitness, and high society-was just as relevant to the reader as the hard news around politics and the economy. They created a new space that has grown stronger and more vibrant over three decades.
This special issue will take you back to the mid-90s, revisiting a time when movies ran for 25-50 weeks, cassette tapes needed pencils to rewind, and Page 3 became synonymous with flamboyance and aspirational living. It will feature untold stories of iconic names and their journeys over these three decades, along with a nostalgic look at people and stories that defined the era.
